Why is it I’m still getting email from people who have read that the beavers have been moved or are moving on? What secret media campaign is at work to combat the observation of people who see these animals everyday? Tonight I stopped at the dam site and watched mama beaver scare off a muskrat when he appeared to be heading for her intended treat. I saw beaver watchers reporting USO’s (unidentified swimming objects). I saw two beavers at the secondary dam and a host of interested observers. And still I get the emails that quote authorities that the beavers have been relocated.
A cynical person might think that there was a plot at work to spread the word that the beavers had dispersed so that there would be less outcry when they finally get around to voting that they should be moved. Spread the bad news before you tell it. Good thing I’m not one of those cynical types.
